Ice Cream In Vegetable Soup

Got an ice cream cone in one hand
While typing with the other
Why does ice cream make us seniors
Beg for another and another!

Isn't ice cream only for kiddies?
Wow! That's surely not the case
Old folks can down a chocolate sundae
Beg for more with a messy face!

Maybe it makes us feel younger
Or it's simply just a treat
As we lick away like happy spaniels
A sensation that can't be beat!

Really not shy about our craving
We'd fight for another scoop
There's many other ways to try it 
Imagine ice cream in vegetable soup?

So stay away from old folks
When they're lining up for some
They'll push and shove and step on your face
For a scoop of butterscotch rum!
